What Is A "Spoonie"?
People who identify as 'Spoonies' are referencing 'The Spoon Theory,' written by a woman with lupus to explain the chronic illness experience to a healthy friend who asked her what it really feels like to live with her medical problems.
https://butyoudontlooksick.com/articles/written-by-christine/the-spoon-theory/The 'Spoonie' Community is, in general, a legitimate supportive network for people dealing with chronic illness. In recent years, however, it has become polluted with SJW types and has attracted a new breed of attention-seeking catfish: people who lie about, fake having, and/or exaggerate existing medical problems and crises for no benefit other than to garner attention.
What Is Munchausen By Internet (MBI)?
From Dr. Marc Feldman, an expert in factitious disorders including Munchausen Syndrome, first described Munchausen By Internet in 2000:
"…the advent of online support groups, combined with access to vast stores of medical information, enabled individuals seeking to gain sympathy by relating a series of harrowing medical or psychological problems that defy comprehension to misuse the groups.[1] Communication forums specializing in medical or psychological recovery were established to give lay users support in navigating often confusing and frustrating medical processes and bureaucracy. Communities often formed on those forums, with the goal of sharing information to help other members. Medical websites also became common, giving lay users access to literature in a way that was accessible to those without specific medical training. As Internet communication grew in popularity, users began to forgo the doctors and hospitals often consulted for medical advice. Frequenting virtual communities that have experience with a medical problem, Feldman notes, is easier than going through the physical pain or illness that would be necessary before visiting a doctor to get the attention sought. By pretending to be gravely ill, Internet users can gain sympathy from a group whose sole reason for existence is support. Health care professionals, with their limited time, greater medical knowledge, and tendency to be more skeptical in their diagnoses, may be less likely to provide that support."

What makes you doubly special and doubly sick? DOUBLE THE SERVICE DOGS! Not only that, but she's recommending all sick people get one because it's nice to have a companion. What she is describing is a PET, not a service dog jesus fucking christ…
Also they're both very small dogs (sorry for lack of photo, it's on her IG tho). I don't think a small dog is a great choice for a service dog unless it's a hearing dog (which this isn't). She just wants to take her pets everywhere cos she's so special.

>>362547It must be nice to have enough money to tell doctors what you want and have them do it. Somehow she skipped every between stage of GP treatment, even though she's still eating solid food. It does not make any sense at all. And no one should be that excited to empty out food and stomach juices, unless they have an eating disorder. And if she can eat Dairy Queen, there's no need for venting or even a tube. I'm going with a mix of special spoonie points and eating disorder.

>>362673As someone who faints regularly, she sure knows nothing about how fainting works? Especially if she needs a fucking dog to "alert" to her fainting.
before you faint you physically feel the blood pressure drop, it's like a huge flush comes over your body, then you start feeling tired and weak and you need to sit the fuck down, or at least that's how it is for me, I don't know if anyone else gets it like that, but either way - your body has a way of telling you when you're about to fucking faint. You do not need a fucking dog to tell you that.
Seizures on the other hand - seeing as though she's "epileptic" I can believe her having a dog for that.

Her GI cant/doesn't know what to do since everything has failed..her GI did 1 GES after begging and fighting for a GES (been chasing it for years) she did everything she could to make sure the ges would show something. And it did and it's extremely mild and not gastroparesis just delayed emptying but her gi jumped the gun and decided to give her a single botox procedure (years ago botox treatment was not used first. Less invasive and less expensive treatment comes first. Botox is a little invasive because you have an Upper GI to get it done)
It didn't help her special gp and her gi referred her to temple.
Wth? There are several treatment plans left since she skipped so many options to go to the big wigs.
This picture is the dr she will be seeing and his about me.
I'm anxious to see how all this will unfold because the testing is thorough.
No doubt something isn't right just not sure what.im curious to see if any of her older illnesses she faked and tried to get diagnosed with something/anything suddenly resurface or suddenly brand new ones with her appts.
Temple is likely going to want a psych eval on her..i just hope they don't override it since she is in therapy and medicated
No. 362797
>>362790honestly temple is no longer the place to go. the head doc there, besides having a terrible bedside manner, places gastric pacemakers which don't always work, shock the patient with electrical currants, and only serve to reduce nausea and such. i go to a different hospital and have been advised to never go to temple because his methods are archaic. then again, my gp is severe and i'm running out of options so i shouldn't turn down anything - she is a complete joke with her gp. i don't understand why anyone would want this disease, as it took me from a fully functioning almost 30 year old to being bedridden with non stop symptoms, which i'm finally starting to recover from since being put on a GJ tube - and that's only 5 weeks after it was placed.

>>362683I saw many misconceptions from the last thread as well as the linked post. many of you seem to have vague or little knowledge, even if you have POTS. I'm all for you calling peoples' shit out, but ffs do it right.
POTS is one of the most debilitating conditions (though I highly doubt that many of the people in question are actually debilitated by it). it causes many more things than just orthostatic tachycardia since it's a type of dysautonomia, and usually comes along with other forms of dysautonomia (mainly vasovagal syncope) as well. I'm not going to list the symptoms because I don't want to give munchies hints, but please stop being so ignorant if you're going to attempt to hold some credibility.
"my ____ doesn't affect me like this so it can't affect others like that" or "
I know when ____ is going to happen so others should too" is just as bad as spoonies trying to compete with each other and is flawed logic.

No, it's not.

These are severe conditions.
You with your POTS don't experience a fraction of the disability these people do. Sure, measured against, say, having a cold, POTS is super disabling. But to pretend it's on par with actual disabling illnesses is ridiculous. It's a non lethal and relatively limited dysautonomia (if you wish, consider there are autonomic neuropathies that are much, much more severe than POTS, such as AAG and pure autonomic failure.
If your POTS is soooper disabling, you don't know how to treat it properly. With hydration (not always/necessarily IV!), Florinef, some pressors and other meds, hypotensive POTS can be managed just fine. Go look for a doctor that doesn't subscribe to the 'POTS IS SUPER CEREAL!' idea but sees POTS as a highly treatable but at most unpleasant disease.

debilitating.
>>362887yeah, no. not all of us are hypotensive. I have hyperadrenergic POTS and take bp pills and beta blockers, had a failed ablation, etc. I have to eat a low sodium diet and I overheat in the winter and whatever, there's literally nothing that can be done for me other than ICM monitoring, it is actually really difficult to live with.

No. 363684
>>363669"Seizures" are not serious. Here's a little introductory neurophysiology for you. We differentiate between epileptic seizures and what used to be called pseudoseizures and are now called PNES. In epileptic seizures, it's actually not even the seizure that's dangerous, it's the cause of it. The worst that happens to most people seizing is breaking a bone or dislocating a joint. Rarely, people may choke but there are ways to prevent that. The real damage is caused by the strain a genuine seizure puts on the body and the nervous system. It's like electrocuting the brain, and it's got incredible effects.
PNES is a seizure without epilepsy. It is harmless. Importantly patients with PNES (I prefer NEAD - nonepileptic attack disorder, as many patients get cranky the moment they hear the p-word) are
not unconscious during their "seizure". There is no postictal phase. And most importantly at least from my perspective (I see these cases mainly in a correctional setting, I wonder why?): they do NOT respond to any antiepileptics unless they get so clobbered that they can't keep it up (which is why some think that giving them Ativan and phenytoin has 'helped': fuck no it hasn't, it just has made them too tired to continue).
There is a little known, painless and fully reliable test to differentiate PNES from a real seizure: crack an ammonia capsule over their nose. It will sting and they will be revulsed by the smell, but because they're not genuinely unconscious as they are not in a real seizure, they will awaken. I learned this from a correctional medicine blog and I LOVE it, it works really well.
if you have PNES, you do not have a serious illness, you have a form of conversion disorder, where some stress you are experiencing is converted into a physiological symptom. Nobody got better from a conversion disorder by dwelling over it. Most people find that a good approach is to explain to the pt that they're ok, they will recover, and they will have to understand that their mind is the boss here, and it is within their power to control their mind. The more they control their mind, the better they will be able to control their "seizures". For once, in this case at least, it really is mind over matter, and people can become very hard to treat if for some reason they have convinced themselves that they have a serious untreatable illness rather than a stress reaction.

>>363680Unfortunately, differentiation is 1) not widely taught, 2) the methods usually taught (sternal rub) are dumb, 3) only possible in the intraictal and immediate postictal phase, 4) in the intraictal phase, providers might not want to wait to confirm which one it is and thus potentially incur legal liability, whereas once they've pushed the Ativan, it's no longer really possible to differentiate what caused the episode, 5) people with PNES have a self-limiting pseudoictal phase, meaning that they do recover without intervention and so doctors may ascribe that to the antiepileptics rather than the fact that they would have gotten better anyway, 6) because PNES used to be called 'pseudoseizures', most people think they're completely fake as opposed to genuine but psychogenic, and doctors who try to test for PNES may soon face angry relatives who will want to know why s/he wasted time on making sure their loved one wasn't faking.

I don't question if she's faking GP, but she's so dramatic about it all. Then suddenly she had EDS because she was "so flexible", and would post photos of her stretching. She talks about how she's a ballet dancer, so of course she's flexible (but wasn't even much for a dancer.) I'm not sure how she danced if all of her illnesses are as debilitating as she makes them out to be.
She shops around for doctors who'll confirm whatever dx she is out for.
Then suddenly she claims to have been subluxations, even though the only thing she ever went on about was being flexible.
Talking to her is like being in a competition, and she's trying to prove she's worse off. I couldn't stand it.
Calls herself a supertubie, is obsessed with grey's anatomy (kek), and says she's "being kept alive by machines" and makes sure to point out there is no cure for her problems when anyone says that they hope she gets better soon. Seems to go to the ER anytime there's a problem that her normal practitioner should be seen for.

>>363711Jaqui's definitely one of the very worst. Look back at the older threads for more on Chloe Leanne, though. There are screencaps of her money grubbing and excitement over all the attention she's getting. Pathetic. She's a British Jaqui, basically. She used to have a more normal username but of course she's changed it to be more spoonie focused!
She and Jaqui are the worst in my opinion. As bad as KR, or maybe worse even since they're both soliciting money directly (and Chloe Leanne is doing that on top of wasting nhs resources when the nhs is overstretched).

>>363804For a few years after residency, I used to work for an insurer in what used to be, euphemistically, called clinical policy. What it really meant? Deciding what interventions we will fund and when, like a massive flow chart of 'if weight loss is under x, no tube' and all that. Now, while CP is the biggest cost saver to all insurance companies, it is also hopelessly overloaded. We needed to draw up policies on every single new drug, never mind the gazillion quack treatments that are now part of some gold plated plans that allow you 'alternative choices'. So we went, mostly, by what's costing us the most. For now, spoonies claiming POTS and GP demanding expensive treatments like TPN (one of the most expensive non-curative treatments known to man), IV fluids (IV fluids are cheap, but we have to budget for the risk that they'll develop line sepsis and then end up with an ICU bill that can pretty easily hit six digits, if not more!) are getting their way because it has not come up on the radar as a priority yet (there are bigger items of wasteful clinical spending on the whole). But eventually it will, and then the party will be over, and not their GI's pleas nor their crying fits can change that. They'll be forced to try to go out of pocket, but I don't know anyone wealthy enough to be able to cover the costs of some of this stuff without major financial difficulty.

Being on TRICARE also means she must go to a military hospital as long as they have a qualified service and enough beds, and if she's sent to a civilian hospital because they don't, she may be 'recaptured' as soon as a bed frees up.

is once it's at this point you get flagged to psych in your chart (and of course get medical treatment of needed) why they can't do a psych hold on some of these who come to er at risk to themselves..therapy, detox, proper testing to confirm or deny diagnosis, proper psych and health meds, etc possible transfer or referral to outpatient or inpatient treatment.

If you remove a tick, you need to keep an eye on the bite site for a bullseye shaped rash for the next couple of days, removing the tick isn't enough to guarantee you haven't contracted lyme. Tick saliva has anaesthetic in it so it's impossible to know when you were bitten and how long the tick was attached.

No. 364469
I found these threads yesterday and at first I got ticked at the people writing them but now I'm just ticked at the whole "spoonie" community thing. I have EDS and POTS, and yeah they can be life wreckers but they aren't some kind of beautiful tragedy. It irritates me that these people milking it for every bit it's worth destroy any credibility that people who legitimately suffer with these illnesses may have on the off chance they decide to actually talk about their issues. I've been part of various support group systems over the years but Instagram is by far the cringiest I've ever witnessed for the sole reason that it's not a support group at all. It's literally a bunch of people being artsy with their illnesses and posting a play by play of every single symptom they experience, complete with paragraphs sprinkled with emojis and hashtags before random words, and trying to be inspirational. It's all glam. Back a couple years ago, when The Fault in Our Stars came out, so many "spoonies" started putting "Okay? Okay" all over their profiles and suddenly started using words like "infinity" and "oblivion." It's just toxic. It's almost like a lot of these girls are so excited to be diagnosed with a genetic connective tissue disorder, and right after they score a POTS diagnosis they're immediately wanting a central line instead of trying the standard lifestyle changes and medications first. Because you know, actual medical doctors who spent years in school can't possibly know how to treat you. Soon after comes the "I'm thinking about buying a wheelchair" post, and eventually the "I wish my doctor would give me a feeding tube, I'm fading fast!" thing. I was a lot younger when I was diagnosed with POTS and was convinced I had "Lyme" after some time online talking to spoonies and to an extent I got into the whole "documenting every aspect of my health issues" thing but quickly realized I didn't want to have absolutely no life or identity outside of POTS. I mean I don't get why these people want to have an identity that is completely wrapped up in their medical devices and symptoms. Several years later I was actually pretty upset when my physical therapist told me she suspected I had EDS, as a normal person would be when being told they may have a genetic condition that can come with long term implications. But LIFE GOES ON, it's not a death sentence or automatically super morbid thing. I think a lot of the spoonies who have 28 diagnoses in their bios (which incidentally are mostly just "symptoms" that can come from autonomic issues or connective tissue problems, and aren't separated diagnoses at all) are excited to be diagnosed with EDS because it is genetic and genetic sounds scary and therefore more credible and "tragic". They don't realize they are thinking that way, but they are. EDS stinks, but I find that the people I know who are actually effected by it more severely are the ones who don't wear it on their sleeves. They just take it day by day, do what they have to do to take care of themselves, and focus on being as normal as they can. No need to draw excessive attention to your "story" and try to be an inspiration by keeping an hourly online diary of your symptoms. AGHHH.There's a huge difference in talking about your illnesses in a normal context from time to time or trying to connect with people who are like you, and turning it into a full time image to maintain. A lot of the people mentioned here are not going to have a life until they drop the whole "look what a warrior I am" act. I didn't even realize all of this in these terms until reading this website just made it all come together.

>>364344The whole sitting with her knees under her is a bit of a red flag.
I mean EDS is painful, sitting in one position for about 20 mins is enough to make pain start, I sit with my knees up against my chest while at the computer and that hurts after about an hour, but it's comfortable. I however cannot sit cross legged because of the position it puts my hips and knees in, for someone with super serious EDS and claims her hips dislocate a lot, I am going to call bullshit right there.
I've also noticed that she is constantly able to hold the camera up above her head and record constantly, because that doesn't fuck your shoulders up, yet in previous blogs she said she physically can't lift her arms above her head.
Also, there are plenty of videos of her walking, there is no signs of hip dysplasia or rotation in her walk, which is often. Caused by EDS and dislocations, there's no sign of her limping from pain in her hips or knees and she seems to be able to walk a lot for someone who's hips dislocate constantly

>>364485Yeah I fucking thought so. I don't have EDS, but I do have general joint problems/pain and I absolutely can't sit like that for more than 2 or 3 minutes.

If she's so bad that she has to use two walkers (one for upstairs and one for downstairs!!??) and get a wheelchair, she is not well enough to be sitting on the goddamn floor, or sitting on her knees. Let alone for 50 minutes, for several different videos, where she doesn't even appear to be uncomfortable. There isn't even a reason to sit on the floor, she could film from the fuckin couch. Fuck sake man. If you're going to exaggerate your illness so much, at least be consistent. Jesus christ. All this milk is making me sick.

>>364469>>364475Thank you for posting and welcome. You have just had the experience that many here have had: coming to the realization that the whole sick-and-pony-show on social media is just over the top and counterproductive. You will find quite a few chronically ill people here and even some healthcare professionals who are tired of seeing the consequences of this illness glamorization in real life. We are here to vent and call out suspicious and annoying cases. These 'illness queens' are making the very real issue of stigma and judgment faced by people with yaknow, legit chronic illnesses, especially young women, even worse. They are not 'raising awareness' except about themselves. They are glorifying, glamorizing the 'romantic tragedy' of being young and ill. FUCK THAT. Everyone has to be sooper severe and too complex and rare and a #supertoobie and #spooniewarrior and have #chronicallyfabulous gear etc. The most annoying thing to me is how much people like this say "I am not my illness." Really? Because that's all we see and hear from you! If you have a spoonie account and then talk about how you are more than your illness, then proceed to discuss every tiny fucking thing about your medikul jerney and that's all you post about, check yoself. Most are reveling in the attention and sooper speshul frajul image. This is a culture of victimhood and overpraising and it is fucking shit up that ACTUAL patient advocates and people who have been sick a long time have fought against. Medicine has come a long way in taking complaints seriously from young people, especially young women, and this kind of shit is reversing some of that progress IMO, sad but true. Stereotypes come about for a reason. It is heartbreaking to see the damage to the reputation and bias against people with certain diagnoses because of obnoxious OTT "spoonie warriors." Then we have the MBI crowd, who aren't even sick but like to play that they are online, or worse actually try to fake or deliberately worsen their medical problems in real life. The damage they do is even worse and far-reaching. I could rant forever but I just want to thank you for posting and seeing things for what they are. We aren't a bunch of hateful cyberbullies who try to destroy people for fun. We're commenting among ourselves on the bullshit we see online, on social media platforms.

The empty syringe is pulled to drain what you have eaten out of the stomach. When it can't go anymore, you flip the T valve/change to the other syringe, and first instill about 5ml into the tube, let it work, then you push 10ml at high pressure.

I can't believe her.
I think she said something about how she doesn't want diet suggestions because her body doesn't respond to food the same way someone normally would with GP. But that just seems like a bullshit excuse to eat whatever she wants (because she apparently can?) even though those foods would make even your average IBS sufferer sick and in pain. I know because I have a very simple case of IBS and I can not touch those foods. I don't have GP so there's obviously no way I can speak for that, but there's just no way processed white bread, cheese, processed mac and cheese and fucking dino nuggets are easy on a sensitive stomach.

Most important points?
- she didn't go to the appointment she had at her rheumatologist for 2 weeks and gets angry, when her rheumatologist isn't there
- they offer her an appointment at the 10/17 but it's too late for the munchie
- the gastroentologist offers her an appointment at the 10/17, which is too late for her gastroparesis(she thinks she has it!), but she waited month to even contact the doctor
- an old lady thought that she's a guy and it made her angry. She even wrote on instagram that her cup size is D!
- Someone on instagram contacted her and said that she is a guy and that people should feel sorry for rheuma_esgibtkeinzujung, because of all her alleged illnesses and psychosomatic stuff
another funny thing? Some days ago she wanted to get recommendations for a heart rate monitor, because she wants to show her doctor that she has POTS. Someone with POTS wrote that she probably can't skip the tilt table test. Suddenly the entry is gone.
She posts a photo, that she's happy about having 1000 followers(she wrote likes) on instagram and nearly 2000 on facebook. Later on she commented, that numbers aren't that important.
My personal opinion? She should go to her GP and ask him for help instead of going directly to a specialist. Having stomach problems while taking narcotics for such a long time is normal, but I guess it's not special enough for her.
And making a big drama on facebook and instagram, because one poor old lady misgendered her is so wrong! First she wrote that it doesn't bother her and now this.
Guess next thing she wants is EDS and a port and a feeding tube.
She hasn't contacted the surgeon for her wrist/hand pain yet, even though she already wanted to contact him last year. How many self-made problems does she even have?

Yes, she 100% NEEDS that feeding tube. Hey goal rate was 45, she runs it anywhere between 25-35 because anything not makes her feel too bloated. She claims her goal rate was 35, but that is not what her doctors said when she got the tube. Apparently she claims MALS now too. She said she doesn't absorb anything she eats, it either it vommited up or comes out her drainage port. If her malabsorption was as bad as she claims the feeding tube wouldn't even work, she says her whole digestive tract doesn't absorb nutrients.
"Oh, poor me, I was so malnourished I blacked out after a few steps." Bull shit, is that why you look and did look so fucking healthy? She has never looked too skinny, or like someone that can't/isn't eating.

https://gomiblog.com/forums/lifestyle-bloggers/chronically-jacquie-jacquie-blake/page-2 Stumbled across this while googling chronically Jaquie fraud/fake, found lolcow and this.

Her "I'm so exhausted, I'm in so much pain" face is ridiculous.
No. 365143
>>365139Totally. Her "I'm feeling shit" face is just super droopy eyelids, talking slow and monotone, that's it.
Not that I need experience to know why that's just dumb, but I'm a chronic pain patient who also deals with a few other illnesses and often have very bad days. I'm very familiar with a lot of different kinds of pain. I've never made a face anything like that, nor have I seen anyone else do it. Maybe it's just a weird thing she does, I don't know. But I know that when I'm in a lot of pain/feeling very sick, I can still keep my eyes open, if anything I'm squinting/tightening my bottom eyelids (if it's real bad, my eyes will just be closed) not in a constant state of droopiness anyway.
Other examples of genuine pain-face include, but not limited to, furrowed brow, tight mouth/lips, fidgeting, changes in breathing, not talking, and not being able to or wanting to pick up a fucking camera and film myself.

>>364732This reminded me of one of our past munchies. Does anyone else remember when Shelbie threw a temper tantrum because her vascular surgeon wouldn't place a port for her "veins that always blow"? They supposedly told Shelbie that it's too risky with her condition (this is when Shelbie claimed to have vEDS before genetic testing), but my guess is the doc asked why she wanted it and she had no good excuse. She doesn't get regular infusions (or doesn't talk about them) except when she goes crying to the ER about how weak she is, she's never had any other central line, and as far as we know she doesn't get blood work done weekly or more. It was laughable and was a shame I didn't know about this thread before than because it was high grade 2% milk. She seems to be laying low now, and her new insta bio says something along the lines of "don't expect me to accept you if I don't know you", I bet it won't last long kek.

>>365147ugh that video was so cringey. I felt bad for the guy, he looked so uncomfortable. And what if he thought he was just going over there to just hang out, and she grabs the camera and starts asking him about his wheelchair before immediately turning the conversation back to herself (I say conversation, but it was pretty one sided) and all about her. And then she made him get out of it so she could use it/try it out, saying she wanted it in pink, etc etc.
I really hope that once she finally put the damn camera down they hung out and didn't have to talk about medical stuff. I'm sick, I have sick friends, and when we hang out usually the last thing we want to do is talk about all our medical problems, let alone excitedly try out each others medical devices. Talking about that stuff occasionally is good, but knowing Jaq, it's all she wanted to talk about.

Maybe she has trouble showing emotion because of that. You can see it when she smiles/waves/poses for photos especially, she looks like she's trying really hard to do what she believes is supposed to be a smile. Sometimes her emotions are definitely genuine, but she seems to have a lot of trouble with that stuff.

>>365198A distant acquaintance has a daughter born w/hemiplegic CP. it's not particularly severe, in that she could walk with an AFO (albeit with a pronounced limp) and would maybe use a cane every now and then.
So somehow, she got involved with Special Olympics, which is all well and good. And somehow, she crossed paths with RL. At this point, she was an 11yo who other than some tendon surgeries and having to wear an AFO was 100% ambulatory and got by just fine.
Well, after hanging out with RL, she expressed the wish to use a wheelchair because it's more comfortable. At first, the parents thought she would prefer to compete in a wheelchair, because her upper body strength is less limited than her lower body issues. But a year later, she basically kept complaining about all and sundry until her OT finally signed off on getting a wheelchair. RL offered to send her one of her used racing wheelchairs (I don't know how that works, as they're different sizes, but I'm no expert). She's now using her wheelchair full time. Her parents are heartbroken. Her docs are puzzled as this kind of loss of function just doesn't happen. She's recently started going all activist, too.
Like Brynn whatshername, Robyn Lambyrd is one of these pied pipers, encouraging the healthy and moderately sick to full time spoonie it up.
No. 365212
>>365203Oh, no. Flattened affect and what autistics do is very different. In an autistic person, the content and the affect are both detached, flattens affect just refers to the way it is expressed.
Of course, it's never 100% so, but here's a ridiculously overdone example:
Autistic: "And so, my mother succumbed to breast cancer. She experienced a degree of pain she described as severe throughout the last weeks before expiring."
Flattened affect: "So my mother died of breast cancer. She was in unbearable, tormenting pain..
Both said in the same affect, in the second example, there is a clear detachment between the emotion that ought to be expressed and the affect through which it is expressed.

>>365282What Chloe needs is an explanation that she is not too complicated at all, she is merely a psychiatric case, for which A&Es are not equipped. They are not psychosomatic emergency units. If she deleted her Instagram, got herself a hobby and forgot about this idea that she needs to be a super sick super spoonie fighter in order to be someone - anyone! -, she could have a life.
This way, I see this ending in three ways: fatal nosocomial infection in a line she forces one of her poor doctors to insert, suicide when she is not getting her way one day and is forced to go to a psychosomatic unit, or long term mental health dependence, where she can play Girl, Interrupted to her heart's content.
Such a loss of a life, a life born with all the privileges of health, wealth and being born in an affluent country that wastes time on her antics. In most poor countries, she'd already been doing the Thorazine shuffle.
No. 365314
>>365269I'm not a psychiatrist. I did, however, work both in an A&E and do a psych rotation specialising in psychosomatic disorders and EDs.
Despite her exaggeration, I cannot see anything, and I mean anything at all, in which her care would have fallen below the standard any patient is entitled to expect from the NHS.
She claims no doctor took her on because she was too sick for a hospital. That… doesn't happen. If somebody turned up at our A&E with space amyotrophiphylencephilococcosclerendixioma, we may be puzzled what the fuck to do with them (we are your run of the mill large urban university hospital serving a fairly diverse community), but we have a very established practice: assess, document, stabilise and prep for transfer to tertiary care (in her case, a MH specialist hospital with a PD or somatic specialist ward). Least of all would someone coming in by
ambulance turned away (though from her description of symptoms, I do not see what warranted the blue light, she is either lying or herself acted like things are serious and the ambulance personnel erred on the side of caution).
That aside, she was assessed competently. She was given the A&E gold standard of diagnosis for suspected seizures. The putative diagnosis is spot on and the doctor had no other options. There are literally no conditions that would have produced seizure-like symptoms without ictal activity on the EEG (other than perhaps also making shit up!). Least of all is her expectation that A&E will somehow after seven years get her under the care of a neuro anything close to reasonable! A&E is about three things: triage, life support for those who need to go on to tertiary care and making the rest fit enough to go home and see their GP soonest. If in seven years her GP has not given her a neuro referral (during which she could have changed her GP, among others!), then there must be a reason and A&E rules exist exactly to prevent what she was trying to do.
She did, however, cost you and me quite a bit of money. Cheers, Chloe.

The thing I hate most about Chloe? The fucking vaccine bullshit.
There is absolutely zero proof that her illness, if any, had anything to do with her vaccine other than some temporal coincidence. But she keeps pushing against vaccines, lying and deceiving instead of admitting plain and simple that she has a mental illness that is causing her physical symptoms. But no, she has to blame the evil vaccines and hope for a big payout. Little does she know how many people she endangers. As she walks around with that stupid-ass vogmask, she of all people should understand that some people depend on herd immunity (because vogmasks don't fucking work!). I'm one of them, and I don't want to die of measles just because some mother saw this bullshit lie that Chloe is spreading to justify to herself that she has spent most of her last few years playing the sick person instead of putting up with life's challenges, and did not vaccinate her child. I also don't want that child to die or suffer pain, illness or disability. I get it, Chloe: you want someone to blame. But you're in control. It's all in your head, and the longer you blame other things, the less likely it is that you will recover. That is, if you still even want that…

Different Chloe, equally full of shit. @chloeprintlambert has everything, from POTS through MCAS, but oddly, she is not allergic to the fuckload of pain medications she's taking (on virtually every photo you can see her chewing an Actiq and having her fent patch on). I mean, fine, I have a pain patch too and I sometimes have an Actiq lollipop, but I don't instagram it. It's tacky.
I used to be in two minds as to whether she really was unwell, but having followed her for years, I'm pretty sure she is full of shit. We met in person as we used to go to the same hospital for treatment. She has quite extensive self harm scars, and she and her parents threw an incredible hissy fit when it was suggested that her GI issues may be due to psychiatric problems. Initially, she had only gastroparesis and colonic inertia - to be quite honest, on her dosage of opioids and Zofran and all that, I don't think anyone wouldn't! Then someday she decided she had MCAS. Then POTS and somehow she talked her parents into buying her second-hand the wheelchair that was used by the protagonist in Me Before You. She is constantly obsessed with what new treatments she can get. When I had my Hickman sooner than she did, she was literally asking me details that would have made Sarah Silverman blush. Despite being on the NHS, her parents play the "affluent middle class pushy parent concerned about their child" stereotype so well. She knows procedure inside-out, and knows how to get her way inside the NHS, and doesn't shy away from telling doctors that. I'm pretty sure that by now there IS something physically wrong with her, given the fuckton of meds she's been taking, but I remember her in the beginning, when she just had GP and some mental issues, how she was excited by every procedure and how she was getting a kick out of getting her way inside the NHS.

And if kids want to show off what they've survived through, of course, because they're kids and aren't old enough to have an ulterior motive. But even a teenager, and especially an adult, should not have to be bribed to behave at the doctors', and tolerating medical things such as an iv as an adult does not make you brave. If you're an adult, you should be able to handle a needle prick without needing a medal. Instead these spoonies have turned a great idea into another way to compete with each other over who's sicker.

CPL is a trainwreck. A few interesting factoids:
- She was obsessed with the idea of a home oxygen concentrator. She tried to get one prescribed from three different docs. All said nope as she can maintain good sats without assistance. So at one time she actually asked me to help her look for one on eBay (I use an oxygen concentrator and bottles of O2 as chemo fucked up my lungs).
- At one point, she told me and a friend of mine that she's glad she's got physical health issues because now she's being taken seriously. Wut.
- The reason she had her parents buy a powerchair? Her OT did not sign off on it, as her physio rightly said that what she needed was to move her joints to avoid them stiffening into a single position. Well, you can guess what happened.
- Around the time two relatively well known spoonies (as one has passed away, I will not give names) started using CPAP devices, she reallyreally wanted one. As I had to use one for a while she actually asked me if I would let her have mine. That… weirded me the fuck out and I'm not easy to weird out!
- She has decided, like so many with multiple health conditoins, that she has Mito, which explains everything, and that she's terminal. Boom. She loves mentioning it or hinting at it.
- She's on a stupid amount of drugs and her escalation is concerning at best. Worse, she has regularly said she would take an Actiq (she's got the 400mcg ones, I think, so pretty strong) when she's not in acute pain but is feeling emotional or upset or sad. That, in case you're not familiar with chronic pain management, is a big red flag. When her doctors wanted her to reduce her opioid use, she allegedly threatened suicide.

The NHS paid towards my chair, like most that need specialised seating, you get a voucher and pay the difference I was lucky the difference was charity funded.
I am on medication, I don't care what people think of that. I don't care about hiding it or not. I've come bloody far in the last couple years learning how to deal with my condition, push boundaries safety and I have had a purpose build space to learn indepence if you want to act like a jealous brat that's fine but seriously, it only makes one of us look utterly ridiculous and it's certainly not me…..
I have mastocytosis and my enteric plexitis (people mistake that for MCAD for some reason)diagnosed via biopsy, I have oxygen prescribed by oxygen services from respiratory consultant. I don't know where the apparent mito thing came from I've never mentioned that and certainly don't have it. I have addisons yes I'm dependant on steroids, I have fentanyl they are 200 not 400 if you must know but why do you give a shit? I'm on TPN and IV meds prescribed by consultants. I don't need help knowing how to get anything- I need enough that I would rather live without.
Jealousy is so ugly.
Right now I need to focus on my little girls funeral. It's up to me and Jordan if we feel the risk is worth it. Sex would kill me? Get a grip. If you are low life enough to make such accusations knowing that my little girl came into the world passed on, then you are not worth my time or explanation.

>>366327I'm gonna be an asshole for a moment.
Among the things they teach you at med school are something called the 'indicae of malnutrition'. Such as: the ring/bracelet gap (losing so much weight that rings/bracelets that used to fit now are loose and leave a gap), prominent cheekbones (as the fat surrounding them dissipates), the triangle formed by the sternocleidomastoids and the suprasternal notch protruding…. I don't want to call Jaqui fat, she's normal for her range and age and gender, but anyone who would credibly deem her malnourished and give her a tube before trying other interventions is a moron. The question you ask yourself before all of these things is whether the patient has enough of a reserve to endure trying liquid nutrition (Ensure) etc. for a few weeks, +/- meds like MCP. But no, she straight got her surgical G/J. And what's more retarded, not long after she got her button. Buttons are expensive and they have to be sized for stoma length, which is why they're given only once weight has stabilised.
Jesus.
No. 366453
>>366427This is why Jacquie fucking mystifies me. It could be that my experience was being in a college health clinic rather than a traditional GP setting, but after I lost 10% of my body weight in a month, and I showed all the signs you pointed out, the doc prescribed me some antibiotics and said losing weight when you're sick is normal.
So at least in my experience, even if the signs are recognized, docs aren't keen on pumping a body full of nutrients that will recover on its own. So it more or less shows how aggressively Jacquie pursues this whole "get me a tube" angle.
Just like Nicole, for that matter. It's like they recognize they're missing something that should be filling/fulfilling, and their brain subconsciously fills in the gap by being like "Food?" So they identify this gaping hole of neediness, and try to fill that hole with medical props and liquid food.
No. 366461
>>366453At a college health clinic, the population is seen as having more risk factors. So it would be more, not less, likely for you to get at the very least an upper GI series and an up and down with the magic snake. There are telltale signs of ED in the GI system that we ca. Identify pretty easily with a single scope, and so it has become pretty common to send anyone with suspicious weight loss for bloods to check the actual level of malnutrition (A/G ratio and, to an extent, HbA1c, are much more telling than weight or weight loss - in and of itself, weight loss is not a problem, the problems are either the things that cause it (ED, serious illness, etc.) or the things it causes (lack of nutrients, various hyposomethingorelseosis syndromes - would you believe I saw my first and hitherto last case of beriberi at an affluent elite university campus's surgery?). So really, the whole thing stinks of parental + Jaqui pressure, and knowing what the right things to utter are. I would not be shocked if Jaqui had a close female relative who is either a doctor or had a PEG/J (we give them away pretty liberally for cancer these days as food shoved in the jejunum will usually stay the fuck there, no matter how nauseous or sick your chemo makes your area postrema).

"Allows me to be myself"– an attention whore?
Yeah, sounds about right. At least Nicole realizes she likes to be the center of attention. You know, for a bitch that apparently got bullied for her weight in school, she sure bounced back VERY quickly and has no problem with a bunch of strangers oggling her on a stage for the merits of her beauty, especially when stacked against more traditionally attractive girls.
She's so fucking weird. Is joining pageants trying to overcompensate for the negative attention she got in school? Like sort of sticking it to her former bullies?
Though, tbh at this point I wouldn't be surprised if the bully thing was a load of shit. She could be lying about it to justify doing pageants.

>>366463She was in one pageant - that she got in for by applying online! But she is milking that one for all its worth. She wants people to tell her how strong and brave she is for doing a pageant in her "condition". My guess is that she always wanted to be in a pageant but knew that she was too average to have any success. Now when she doesn't win she can justify it because she has the tube while still trying to score points for doing the pageant with the nose hose (as evidenced by the multiple media articles she did about it).
I half suspect that she wanted the tube put back in because she kept going on about having a family/friend (I don't remember which) wedding to attend in a couple of weeks. Other people her age have jobs, lives, school, etc… so I bet she thinks the tube will get her off the hook for having to answer those questions and bring more attention to her.

And I can't spell 'differential' for the life of me (thanks spellcheck!). The words you use most or the words you know you need most are going to be the ones that you will remember best. Munchies think that if they speak 'our languague', they'll be taken more seriously. That might even, rarely, be the case - if an adult says 'RUQ pain, intermittent, for about 3 days - Dr Anon, could we please have an ERCP?' I'm more likely to believe this is because the patient is a healthcare practitioner who knows what they're talking about (though for legal reasons I normally run their name and if I don't see them qualified as a doctor, nurse or AHP, it's a biiiiiiiig red flag and no ERCP for you!). But when a 16-year-old lists me the indications for a PEG well enough to pass FRCP, I WILL ask what the fuck is going on. Sometimes it's totally innocuous (kids who have been whisk for a long time, such as young people with cancer, have had to grow up very fast and gained an understanding of what is happening), but often it's a sign of advanced Munchies.

I'm gonna be cruel as fuck here. And I'll blog and you'll want to kill me and I am so sorry in advance.
I am a physician, and probably the only pro life doc in our hospital (major UK university hospital). I'm also the husband of a wife who had a recent miscarriage, and there's not been a day for the best part of a year that we have not cried over it (I was an Army doctor, I don't fucking cry, so this was a bit of a surprise to me). I also believe everyone has the right to have a child.
But I also believe in obligations towards that child. If, say, you're on isotretinoin, having a child that's almost definitely going to start with very bad cards is inhumane. Equally if your body is barely holding itself together, whoever told you you should get pregnant did not have your best interests at heart, never mind the child's. if the child had made it to term, I would be seriously shocked if CPL had made it out of that delivery room with a pulse.
And so, I agree she should be given the chance to grieve as any other parent who lost a child would. But let's be quite clear here. There is no charity in bringing a child to this world if your body can't handle it, if it would potentially kill you, etc.
An acquaintance of mine (I won't name names) is very, very sick. So they used surrogacy and the baby is going to be her legacy to this world when she passes, which is pretty likely to be in the next few years. I understand that. To decide that you want to bring up a child in a body that lacks the strength to sustain itself and has a lot of other issues and is riddled with toxic medications (I don't know many GI meds that are even remotely safe for pregnancy) is selfish. Sorry if that hurts, but it is.
Now, every once in a blue moon, a woman comes along with hyperemesis gravidarum so severe, we have no option other than to tube or TPN feed her. Those situations are super high risk but impossible to know in advance. When you're already on TPN and fluids and feeds and meds and god knows what, you should seriously think whether your body is the best place to put a tender, vulnerable, growing child into.
This be the sermon. I am sorry for you, CPL, and for your baby girl. Whatever I think of your decision to have her, you'll all be in my prayers.

One more thing.
> she sought all the appropriate medical advice before getting pregnant and was under close monitoring .There was no reason why her having a child would be selfish or hurting said chil
Thanks for your educated opinion, doc. One: we aren't your fucking parents or caregivers, so we cannot say 'don't do it, it's stupid!' Woman on taxanes wants a baby? We can tell her it won't happen, but we can't say 'don't do it'. We're literally not allowed. Kid on isotret wants a baby? We can explain to them they'll have heads like baseballs and more issues than Cosmo, but we can't say don't do it.
So please, think about this for five seconds.
Also, the only way her pregnancy could have been monitored appropriately would have been in a specialist maternal-foetal unit. I know every one of them, for personal reasons I referred to above. I know the people who run them. I can tell you none would so much as remotely be ok with this whole charade. She would have to have major medication changes, plus adjusting TPN to someone newly pregnant is incredibly complex.

It's funny to me that she claimed to dance at the Rock school to multiple people, especially looking through her Instagram. If you go back far enough and look at one post, she says she auditioned when she was 23 and wasn't accepted. I wonder what else she's lying about.
She's said that she's a "professional ballerina"…She's a dance major. There's a difference.

I'll believe it when I see the piece of paper that says they have the genetic mutation for more than one type of EDS.
vEDS is rare and patients tend not to get the common co-morbidities like; gastroparesis and PoTS, although a small proprption will do. That said, given how rare it is to have vEDS and have those associated conditions, how many are you gonna see popping up on IG?

Has CJ explained why she can suddenly eat real food now? In all her videos prior to getting her tube (that I saw) she was basically catatonic because she couldn't eat, and therefore "needed the tube".
Post tube, she can magically eat again. What the fuck is she up to. Not just eating, but eating so much junk food and things that'd be hard even for someone with minor IBS hard to tolerate. Also, for someone who's apparently so malnourished they need regular TPN infusions and banana bags, she sure does seem to avoid nutritious food. I know it's hard for people with GP to eat fruits and vegetables, but all I've seen her eat is broccoli, cucumber and banana (frozen, and with peanut butter mind you) which all seem like they'd be harder to digest. If she can digest those foods, and meat, dairy, pasta, processed white bread, pastry, cake, cream… Why can't she eat proper healthy food that's easier to digest? Like soups/broth, cooked spinach, smoothies, soft veggies like sweet potato, zucchini, eggplant, cooked fruit… I could go on. Even fuckin baby food would be better than the shit she eats.
Literally does anyone know her reasoning behind all this? Surely people have brought it up to her before.

- anaphylactic inhalatory tar allergy
- anaphylaxis selectively closing off a lobe
- Pepcid, of all fucking medications in the world, being given for an anaphylactic patient's secondary reaction who needed a breathing treatment earlier
- a girl who had a very serious inhalatory anaphylactic episode with a delayed onset reaction who has no swelling around the eyes, clear sclerae, no rubor, healthy and well oxygenated skin, make-up that somehow withstood not only the inevitable flood of tears that comes when you're choking to death but also the mist of the nebulizer
Now, some people argue that you can develop a hypersensitivity, which they call an allergy (wrongly, because 1) they're morons, 2) not every hypersensitivity reaction is an allergy although every allergy is a hypersensitivity reaction, 3) see 1) to just about anything. Funnily enough these are the people who send their patients to ELISA based 25 gazillion component allergy tests, which we all know are worth a crock of shite.

Part of me is wondering if they aren't just hoping for a UK Vaccine Court where they can bring claims without the usual amount of evidence needed and most importantly without the strict requirements to prove causation. They're hoping for a big-ass payout, and a comfy life as a professoinal vaccine victim.

"I never go to the ER unless absolutely necessary" is a joke (although I guess it depends on your definition of absolutely necessary). She has spent most of the last few years self confined to a wheelchair/bed because she was such a sick wittle girl.

TEP kicked her out because of the picture thing, so i think she no longer wants to be associated with ED stuff because she failed miserably.
It's easier to fake invisible illnesses and with the spoonie community, I think she realizes doctors/the population in general gives "sick" people more sympathy than people with eating disorders. Even though people with genuine EDs are sick.

The rest of the image was cut off so I don't know if that commenter was a bit suspicious. She doesn't seem to be emphasizing the child part right now (but bet she still acts like one).

Lied constantly about her weight and made out she was sicker than she is. Yeah, she has anorexia, no she's not on death's door or she wasn't as often as she made out.
Called her doctor "mama bear" and faked texts from her pretending they were oh so close and had a special bond. Got called out on this but not sure what happened.
Diagnosed with PICA and ate a lot of laundry detergent, hence ER visits but she made out it was her sooper serious anorexia, kidney issues and heart issues - no actual evidence of this. Well known for making herself sick by eating soap.
Called herself a sick kid all the time and glamorized every IV and wheelchair ride.
Soooooper dramatic about everything healthwise.
Took up a lot of time of childlife professionals and other medics who could have been looking after actual sick children.
Took photos of other patients and posted on social media.
Someone - maybe from here ? I don't know - contacted the IP programme and she deleted her hilariously entertaining IG.

Note the close up picture of her bland meal. You can see a shitload of pepper in a pile right next to the mustard..and it continues on the food. Tiny bit my arse.
I wish they'd admit her or place her in a temp. Home to monitor her 1:1 and know exactly what is going in and what's going out (and how) and let her have zero control over her meds to clean her up before testings and after testing and any treatment for a few months..she probably throw a fit at this but she'd absolutely love that..all that attention and no other responsibilities but be sick while Drs can get an honest picture of her health and what she does or doesn't have..not what she does want to fake and "brag" about online.

I honestly feel like if she was in the correct environment shed actually be a decent productive part of society.
Maybe something like an assisted living facility, with her having some sort of mental handicap she can even get a life skills coach and groups to help her get her shit straight.
She would have it made at assisted living housing depending on how much she milks it (which will be a lot as is with her) plus way more attention. It would also protect her from herself. To think of it I'm surprised she hasn't thrown out
"I'm the worst in state. Drs have never seen anything as severe/ anyone as complex, I need 247 help because I fake pass out all the time and my heart is so bad (yet the Drs have never been concerned about me living alone passing out all the time..surprise) so I have to move into a nursing home/assisted living."

can, and not only in the Sweet Land o' Press-Ganey (of thee I sing… etc). My former boss, an absolutely fantastic gastroenterologist who now runs a major endoscopy unit in the UK, is in hot water now because of one of them (nobody well-known or even on Instagram, I think - just your garden variety Munchie who wants to be that onemorestep girl). Reportedly (and when I say reportedly, I mean corroborated by several of my former colleagues who were present), this young lady (we are talking young adult, early 20s) turned up at his outpatient clinic on a GP's referral with mum in tow. That in and of itself tends to be odd/suspicious but mostly either a vulnerable adult or young person dealing with some very grown-up issues (think getting a terminal diagnosis at 22 and having to decide about a care plan…). Well, this girl was neither. She was politely described as being 'in a healthy weight' , no prev GI history. So mum produces a letter from a (private) gastroenterologist (whose speciality is, to put it politely, not functional gastrointestinal disorder… gastro is a big fucking field, and with just about enough idiots for every corner of it) that went something along the lines of 'patient has delayed gastric emptying according to scan (enclosed), give her a PEG/J and deal with it yourselves, peasants!'. To which my former boss probably thought 'piss off' and anyone who can afford a GES and a GI consultation with this guy privately should pay for their own fucking tubes. Still, ever the gentleman, he explained mum and daughter that he's sorry for any unreasonable expectations that might have been created by the private gastro, but we don't normally do procedures without our own work up and we would not consider performing a PEG/J insertion without first admitting her, nose hosing, ruling out various treatable causes etc. - all stuff that Doc McOverpaid-Stuffins should have done instead of pocketing his fee for a half page letter that consisted mostly of his signature (what a cock). He even went beyond usual procedure and offered to do urgent bloods on her and if they looked dangerously off, she could be admitted urgently for investigations, but tubes are a last restort, and she can't expect to just turn up with a letter and get it inserted.
So she broke down in what was described by one of the eyewitnesses as 'making up in drama for what it lacked in genuineness', an observation that's still making me chuckle, and stormed out of the room, with her mother in tow, who was loudly threatening to report him to the trust. And so she indeed did, and now the Trust is investigating this l young lady not getting her way as a breach of the obligation to provide adequate care… what the fuck, honestly.
The thing is, these fucks are exploiting a system we have in place for good reasons. There are stringent oversight mechanisms on what I can do to you even with your consent, how I have to do it and whom you can bi… I mean, complain to when things go bad. And while getting hauled into an inquiry about a patient complaint is a nightmare, especially the first time around (or, as we tend to joke about it, the first 30-40 times… after that, it gets routine!), few doctors would disagree that patients shouldn't have some level of recourse if they feel the care they received was inadequate. Sadly, however, these processes attract two kinds of people like flies: Munchies and people who read about some treatment in the Daily Fail that helped someone's great-grandmother's neighbour's dog sitter and now they want it, whether it's for their disease (or whether they indeed have any disease!) or not. We keep getting these 'are you prepared for this year's flu epidemic?' e-mails at our Trust pretty constantly from August or so onwards, with helpful tips like 'wash your fucking hands' (thanks, Dr Lister, never heard of that one!). They should instead send us some warning on the impending epidemic of Munchies. Just when we got pretty OK at weeding out people who wanted to go on welfare age 18 and make a career out of it, this shit starts up. Not to put a too Malthusian point on it, but these people spend their most productive years with Instagram Syndrome, blocking beds and racking up six-digit hospital bills they'll never get to see. They get expensive medicstions just to brag about them or make 'pill art' (Christ, don't get me started on that one!) from them. What will they do when they've decided they've had enough? They'll be hopelessly behind their peers who went to university and actually completed a course and got a job. Some will be our beloved full time activists, explaining to us the poor benighted how we just don't know enough about their condition (oh, I'm sorry I did not have time to read your unsourced two page pamphlet about your specific brand of multiple chemical sensitivity syndrome, I was busy trying to see if a young father of three with stomach cancer might be a candidate for a new drug that might give him some more time with his family, but please do chastise me and the whole medical establishment for our ignorance of your terrible plight!), but the rest? I mean, I'm honestly asking here. What the fuck is the endgame here? I used to think it was an easy life on benefits, but that won't replace the attention and intensive treatment they're given now (treatment we would, by the way, occasionally withhold of elderly people because there's just not enough money to go around - thanks, Munchies! - and treating the young and possibly someday fit has always been a priority ahead of prolonging life). I just don't see where this is all going.

>>368637Where I work has a handful of TPN patients. They come typically from three demographics: the most severe Crohnies who need to give their GI system a rest, people with malignancies and/or vomiting problems we can't easily fix otherwise (including hyperemesis gravidarum) and people with FGIDs. One of the persistent mysteries is why FGID patients have higher neutrophil counts, are in a better state than someone suffering from debilitating Crohn's or liver cancer with intestinal mets, and aren't on anything that ought to suppress their immune system (like, you know, chemo or or immunosuppressants for Crohn's), and yet make up the majority of lines removed for infections.

The newer ones like the NK1ergic antiemetics (aprepitant, rolapitant etc.) are still not approved by insurance for chronic vomiters although people with cyclic vomiting (which is not chronically persistent but chronically periodic) can get it. Same for the other 5-HT3 antagonists - the others are much more expensive and as such insurance regulates them more tightly for non-CINV and/or postop nausea.

>>368770See, there IS such a thing as being too complex for a hospital. If you have a one in a gazillion cancer or a rare chromosomal abnormality, you may be well too complex for the Rural Hospital of Bumfuck Egypt. That's why we have secondary referral centres (big hospitals with wide speciality units, so for instance having a neurosurgical service would be a wide speciality unit), and tertiary referral centres (such as specialist cancer hospitals like MD Anderson that may have a specialist service for, say, the removal of particular types of complex acoustic neuromas). In general, what happens when there's a complex case is that a multidisciplinary meeting is called and then a referral is made either to deal with the patient altogether or just to deal with a particular aspect of their care. There are whole jobs within the NHS as well as in every US hospital I've ever worked at that coordinate clinical services for complex patients, and relatively, these people are NOT a complex case! A complex case is the diabetic heart transplant recipient who has a MALT lymphoma, which is a 'how the fuck do we treat this guy without killing him?' situation.

No. 368944
>>368723Not always. It's a general rule to pull lines with suspected sepsis however there are always differences in each patients care. When sepsis is not full blown sepsis and obviously not septic shock, sometimes they can save the lines. This is part of why early treatment is so important. Treat it before it gets bad and have better outcome. (Again, not always)
They can take cultures from your line without cutting the inner tip off, depending on what signs and lab results show.
Often when one comes in ER with suspected sepsis cultures are taken first and the assessment determines what to do..too risky to use the line, an IV is given and use of line is stopped, if the patient is doing ok, and they can save the line that's the course of treatment and they will start use of the line once the repeated cultures are improving after IV antibiotics for a while.
However it seems more common to not save a port line.
Some who have had many lines cannot get many more lines, every time they place one it's a big chance to scar it up and make the same place unusable. People who truly depend on their line cannot loose all access so that plays little role in trying to save a line too. (We have 6 places).
Occasionally they will give a picc instead of IV, but midline is more common and safer.
And of course if they can't save the line it's pulled asap and once the infection is cleared up a new line is placed.
It's not uncommon to have a person with a line who can go without a line if needed and that's when the fight can come up for the munchies as they are told no dr is giving you a line for saline because it's harming you (remember that oath!) You can go to infusion place like the others. The part that back fires is once discharged they have a new line because the antibiotics they need can't go in an IV. Some people don't get it removed and change Drs and story. Big back fire there lol. But thanks to medical records they don't get to play that game very long.
Because munchies are usually idiots, they don't realize the cultures will show what they did to infect themselves.
People truly sick who have record of being in and out of hospital recently that show line infections are pretty much the only excuse when it comes to what type of infection it is.
Ex- munchies has sepsis, line grew mssa. Someones been touching it
Sick person has sepsis, line grew mssa. Person has been in hospital a lot recently, hospital acquired mssa.
No. 368950
>>368675No they don't, but I think she is just exaggerating the treatment she's needing.
Depends on the type of infection but it's very common for people to need IV antibiotics for weeks after discharge, so they are sent home with another line (picc usually and then port or line after antibiotics are done with and cultures nirmal, or total line removals if previous treatment is stopped) And have IV antibiotics to do. Sometimes it's 247, every x hour. They will have a gravity ball, or a bag and pump, each infusion is a few hours. Some will have a nurse to come out and do it every dose,the trusted some have to set alarms.
I'm assuming she will cry she has sepsis at home for the next 3-8weeks while she needs the antibiotics instead of being thankful the worst is over, and she can continue treatment in the comfort of her home.
Btw if she is on vanco. They do level checks and if she is not doing the antibiotics right they will know she's missing doses and end up in their radar..red flag

NJ tubes J tubes must be placed under stay or fluro to help guide it in with a peel stealth and guide wires to make sure it is properly placed as using it out of place can do some scary shit to you.
NG tubes and G tubes can be done by yourself or someone else at home.
A GJ tube must also be done under xray or fluro for same reasons as J.
If she had issues with repeated NG tubes I don't get why they didn't place a peg. In her case it would be a small peg and placed as high as her anatomy allowed to prevent purging. She claims spoonie dying points and an upper gi to place the peg and new bragging rights about being so sick she has a permanent tube now.
It's obvious her Drs aren't thrilled about her having the tube, but safety and health reasons peg makes more sense to me specially if she only used it at night and removed it during day.
Its usually outpatient or one night stay, and when they discontinue the tube crap they remove the peg or leave it if they think she will need it again but she isn't trustworthy and would fuck with it however she can.
It heals up pretty fast. They can place another if needed and we know she would love to have the scars to brag about.

MLS definitely just wants a tube so so badly.
I get a feeling that if she doesn't get a tube she will tube herself again with another NG (for the fluids she refused to drink because of her severe anorexia and it helped her keep it down despite it going into the stomach and while eating fine enough to gain) and pretend the Drs mentioned giving her a tube (she isn't going to be the one bringing it up every 2 seconds of course)
And then set another gofundme for a ridiculous amount because her insurance won't cover a pump, feed, and everything needed for tube feeds. When the truth is she begged for a tube, got denied by more Drs, bought ng tubes, tubes herself, can't afford to buy the formula because her insurance doesn't know she's on tube feeds (self tubing) and she has no medical necessity for tube feeds, there for no prescription. And she will make excuse after excuse for not going back to temple appts. Specially if things dont go the way dani wants it to go.
I just have that feeling about her..her whole I'll make myself sick to show them attitude she has. She'll come home and self tube, make up some story about how severe she is and they made her get a tube before going home instead of coming home with normal test results and no tube. (I'm so curious what they will find out with these testing and hoping they will get her on a better treatment plan. She's def. Got GI issues, just not like she claims. Anyone notice she stopped her whinning about her severe irritable bowel syndrome about the same time she cried about swallowing issues, gerd causing barriers and cancer and needing throat stretched?

>>369064You don't have to be a genius to use IG.
I do think it is likely she has some sort of at least mild cognitive delay. In the one vlog of hers that I watched she mentioned that she was born fairly premature. The outcomes for preemies are much better these days but given her age, I wouldn't be surprised if she had some sort of mild cognitive delay or at least a learning disability. It also sounds like she was over-protected by her parents. I don't know if she realizes she is doing it or not but I think she wants to be sick/likes being sick because that is what has gotten her the most attention in the past.
I do think she isn't really making a big effort to try to get better via diet changes. Seeing as she doesn't appear to do much besides go grocery shopping, she should have had plenty of time to "research" the diet so many people have recommended. I am sure that if she did she would complain about it being too expensive (she strikes me as the type of person who buys a lot of cheap things thinking that they are a good deal and ends up spending a lot more money than if she just bought a smaller amount of quality items).
She wants the tube because she needs some sort of physical sign that she is sick to gain sympathy points. For her, any attention is good attention.
What frustrates me the most is that she mentions that she has some mental health diagnoses but goes on and on about the GP and anorexia. The other diagnoses are likely the root cause of most of her issues - focusing on them would be more effective but that would gain enough spoonie points.
I only wish that I had screenshot of the IG story where she complained about blurry vision and her glasses were super smudged and grimy.

The food may be bypassing her oral cavity but its not bypassing the swallowing mechanism.
Unless you have some sort of nerve/structural damage, everyone swallows hundreds of times a day - regardless of whether or not you eat actual food. (If you didn't then you would be drooling constantly). She is still swallowing with the tube in. There is still a physical object (the tube) providing some sort of sensation in the pharynx/larynx while she is swallowing.

>>368946In general, there are three different types of line infections: site, tunnel and bloodstream (called 'proper CLABSI', the other two apparently aren't well-behaved enough). Site infections are simple to cause but because the skin has a fairly sane immune system, it rarely leads to severe disease in immunocompetent Munchies. It's also extremely painful. A tunnel infection is harder, and generally means the line's got to come out, but the principle is the same - introduce some infectious agent sufficiently deeply past the site and into the tunnel. Finally, CLABSI sepsis requires almost inevitably something to be pushed into the bloodstream. Inadvertent CLABSI happens by accidentally touching a port gripper needle against something or not swabbing hubs/bionectors/whatever the fuck your call them. When induced intentionally, I've seen a wide variety of absolutely fucking insane ways of doing it. All of them are playing with serious fire, and the contribution these fucks make to antibiotic resistance to last resort antibiotics is definitely appreciated by bacteria. Much to their sadness, Munchies recently learned we have discovered blood cultures around, say, the century before last, meaning that we can identify the pathogen. We know what pathogens turn up where, and if I suddenly see weird shit in the bloodstream of someone with a central line and other warning signs, we now have VERY sensitive methods that can identify exactly what that pathogen is and where it came from, including whether it was injected at a large volume (your average Munchie is not a microbiology tech, she WILL fuck it up). The saddest case bar none I've ever seen was FII by inducing dilute faecal matter (yes, really) into her bloodstream. The pt had a stool transplant (yes, that, too, really) a while earlier and we thought hey… everything's possible. Some antibiotics later and she was better. Then half a year later, she was worse again, but this time far less fulminantly than initially. Thinking this was because she did not put enough poop down her midline rather than because she developed some degree of resistance, she decided to give herself another central line enema. To the predictable effect of a piece of some solid matter getting lodged in a major blood vessel and causing a devastating stroke that killed her. It made for a depressing M&M, and that's despite the fact that we are all sick fucks who laugh about this sort of crap. Sometimes.

>>369244Actually pretty easily.
1) Shitty dietitians who suck at calculating BMR. Sorry, but it happens.
2) There are vast interpersonal variations when it comes to metabolism and how much you need of what. Many of these we don't even understand and most we cannot even test for. Thankfully in a normal situation, we have a pretty decent way of understanding that eating certain things makes us feel good and makes us thin while eating other things makes us fat and feel sick. And so eventually your body figures out its individual composite diet. A tube feed, however, has to be for just about everyone. There are special feeds called elemental formulas that are basically predigested but they're expensive and a bad idea unless clinically justified. Some patients rapidly gain weight because their glycaemic control is so crap, they absorb all the carbs. This is especially a problem with certain ethnic groups who normally have a very high protein low carb diet: I've seen a number of Afro-Caribbeans with lean or even emaciated physiques balloon up on the regular formula that doesn't accommodate the fact that they're genetically geared towards a low sugar high protein diet (the same reason btw is why a lot of Polynesians get very obese and die to heart disease if they're put on a carb-rich Western diet!).
3) Most of us lack self control to the point that even if we are nauseous we desire food. It's hard to be NPO for a few days, being so for weeks is torture, and so they invent bullshit like they have 'safe foods' or plain suction it out of their bellies after consumption,
4) It's only when unable to eat that you realize how much of our social interactions revolve around food. The pace of a dinner conversation, for instance, is geared towards eating and talking, not just sitting there with an empty plate. It can get very awkward very easily. Hence the temptation by many to still try to eat. That's despite what they say an absolute no no with an NG or NJ, and even in the case of reenteralising a patient, there's an order to it and it has to happen under medical supervision. Plenty of people got very fat on a combination of no exercise, lots of steroids and hi calorie tube feeds.

I would say that these details alone are concerning. How would intestinal flora end up in the blood? Occam's Razor, fam. The simplest explanation is usually the correct one. In this case the most obvious answer is that her PICC became the vehicle for introduction of gut pathogens.
A few things to note:
1. Negative line cultures do not necessarily r/o line colonization. Many times these infections will not show until the explanted catheter tip is cultured.
2. Unless she has some kind of fistula, the only other MOA is exogenous introduction of pathological flora.

>>369152I'm a GI doc. I do scopes. Shitloads of them. I am as close as you can come to being an endoscopy nerd (I absolutely am fascinated by the technology involved). With that said…
What the FUCK is THAT?
That… is not any scope I know. There are very thin scopes mainly used for the nasopharyngeal passages, but they look different. Proper scopes have a scoring on the scope itself so you know the depth of introduction - that is actually required as reports often need to state distances and how far something was introduced if a blockage is encountered etc.
So initially I thought hey, maybe it's a capsule scope receiver. In case you're unfamiliar, a capsule endoscopy is a small single use swallowable camera that takes pictures and transmits them to a receiver outside the body, typically a vaguely x-shaped receiver system strapped onto the abdomen. But I also know most capsule scope systems and nope, that ain't one.
Finally, wtf is she wearing? We do endoscopies in absolute emergency situations without getting the patient into a gown, we just put a drape blanket over them, but definitely no frilly dress bullshit going on in an endoscopy room.
So, this wins the prize for most fake faked endoscopy ever. Fucking hell. I'm even angry.

>>369447With PF it is almost always pervasive, but in a medical setting tunnel vision develops. In psych treatment it becomes easy to become fixated on medical related lies as they can be verified as untrue. Every PF I've been able to investigate in depth has engaged in the behavior in other contexts.
IMO they end up malingering because it's an attractive narrative. It builds an identity that is resilient in the face of skepticism. Many people are going to question health related claims as they're perceived as verified from an authority (modern medicine) that people don't feel qualified to question. Malingering allows cows to play the Hero(advocate, strong)/Victim(ill, neglected) narrative to the hilt which is extremely desirable. There's also a lot of technical language and esoteric knowledge involved in career malingering that allows them to seem knowledgeable, hence credible.
With lifetime PFs it's a cycle. They engage different narratives throughout their lives, but "mature" into others as needed. When they find one that works as is sustainable, they stick with it.
I think this maybe why the demographics (female, 20's) are so consistent. Malingering is attractive to them but they've grown into it from other PF behavior.
Extreme example: Women claims to have ductal breast cancer. Motives are sympathy, easing of job, financial gain, etc. Eventually she's found out and sent for an extensive psych evaluation. Psych team focuses way to much on medical related PF and just tosses her into the BP II collection bin.
Later it turns out she engaged in PF in every aspect of her life. Told students her fiance died on 911, she worked with NASA, acted in Mamma Mia!, had a PhD. Treatment ended up being futile because as her malingering narrative collapsed, it took her entire identity with it. Her entire life was a lie.
tl;dr FII is heuristically more appropriate, but PF is far more common. Just requires often unrealistic investigation.

However, that has changed more recently, at least in my part of the US because some insurances (like Medicaid) have started to penalize hospitals when patients have to be re-admitted. It has cut down on some of the hospital holiday dumping because they don't want their reimbursement to be cut back.

>>369451Yes, it is a real condition, just a lot more rare than these fuckers pretend. MALS happens when the medial arcuate ligament squishes the celiac artery and celiac plexus together, causing pain. It's popular because it is a diagnosis of exclusion, i.e. if you have pain in the right places at the right time and weight loss and everything else is OK with you, you're assumed to have MALS that did not show up on imaging. The only useful imaging modality is CT angio, which few hospitals will order for a diagnosis of exclusion, especially as it's so often inconclusive.
Munchies used to love another GI vascular disorder called SMA (superior mesenteric artery) syndrome. The difference is that SMAS, while also a diagnosis of exclusion, has fallen out of favour with the medical establishment. A lot of gastronauts think it's a bullshit condition. Others, myself included, are happy to accept that it exists but is very rare and will not give a diagnosis unless some vascular evidence of compression (ideally some angiography followed up by a Doppler - I want to see the constriction and the slowing before I throw every other possible cause, including an eating disorder, out of the window and potentially medicalise a psych patient or treat them for the wrong disease!).
Teal deer: real condition, very rare, none of these assholes have it, easy to fake, in general the only times we know we were right on the money is after surgical treatment. Surgery for MALS is unpleasant and involves cutting the MA ligament and shoving a Doppler probe on the celiac artery. If it lights up, then the patient is stitched up and sent on his merry way. If it stays blue (= the artery has been so squished that it doesn't have enough blood flow), we usually have vascular standing by to do something ghoulish like doing a vascular bypass, they live for that shit. In general, and in recent years, two failed MALS surgeries are regarded as proof the diagnosis sucked and/or something else is going on.

That does not chime well with the overarchingly narcissistic character of your average PF.

Which means strain, specially exercise, would make her drop dead yet she does OR, cardiac obviously.
She doesn't have any condition she can't take PT with no matter how much she tries to get out of it..and that should raise red flags to her Drs.
Not to mention that she claims her Drs can't figure out what is wrong with her heart (because it's completely healthy and she should be fucking thankful for that. Of course she's not)
PT won't let her complain her hearts too weak.
I hope she gets good Pts. That will not let her slab off and read into her shit. And if she doesn't shut up about this nonexistent heart condition hopefully they will get with her dr and set out to prove nothing is wrong with the heart again.
She needs to shut her mouth and listen, not hear, for once.
Because she isn't the one who studies every day and works around it every day g and in comparison she's not at all proper to have the mind frame that she knows it just as well as they do. BS.
The only time patients know more about their condition is when it's so extremely rare and the Drs have never treated it, just studied it in school. But even then if you've got a good dr he will step up and dig in and talk to other Drs to help his patient and/or give referral to a Dr specialized in the illness even if this means flying across country for treatment. Happens every day and she bitches about a 1.5-2 hr drive..and she has no life. Her dad who is taking her does. The people who travel have lives but they make it happen. She wont.

Dani will come up with every excuse not to try a diet that might help. So many people have laid it all out for her yet she still says she needs to "research" it.
And when asked why it takes so long to research she replies that she can't spend too much time on the computer to her chronic migraines (which she only ever brings up as an excuse). If your migraines are so bad you can't spend 20 minutes googling a diet on a computer then maybe don't spend so much time on IG, watching Netflix, making terrible vlogs.
If it was truly an issue you would prioritize using the limited time to find something that might make you feel better.
But let's be honest - Dani doesn't want a cure because underneath the illness she realizes that she is nothing special

Probably she's still on her parents insurance as she's under 26 and they're loaded.
Speaking of Jacquie, today she pissed away ~15k worth of immunoglobulin. Naturally that wasn't enough chronic illness for one day, so she had to go to the ER to make sure her feeding tube wasn't kinked. Obviously it wasn't.
Judd seems to just dissociate from all this shit. When he's not staring off into space, he's dicking around on his phone and making minimal generic responses.
I don't know whether to feel sorry for the guy or not. He either was thinking with his dick and feel for the early 20s "I can handle anything" mentality or really underestimated how nuts Jacquie is. Maybe he wanted to play hero.
Can't see things working for him though. Eventually he's gonna get tired of life revolving around Jacquie's lazy ass. It's going to get old, she's never going to put out kids, she's gonna go down hill quick in terms of looks.
Guy was retarded to marry her. Even if she never has kids, he'd still get murdered financially in a separation.
I guess the only thing he has going for her is that he can probably screw around all he wants. She's way too distracted with herself to catch on.

No. 371148
>>370116Ok, medfaggery and medical administrative faggery here for a second (God, finally some use out of those five years managing a gastro unit that made me wanna kill myself on a daily basis…!).
GA has nothing to do as to whether something is surgery or not. We have brain surgery done under local, quite often in fact, as the patient's responses need to be monitored (this happens often in ablative surgeries for epilepsy and sometimes for benign tumour removals). Equally there's GA that's not surgery, e.g. GA for small children to stay still in the Big Noisy Donut.
So. There is this big class of things called
procedures or
interventions. If you are interested what a stupendous range of them indeed exist, go look up something called the CPT, which is a code system for them popular in America.
Now, a procedure may be anything from taking half your brain out (a legitimate medical procedure, used on infants with a rare disorder called Rasmussens, and they grow up pretty ok!) to giving you an injection. Back in the day, medicine was a very fragmented profession. The Hippocratic Oath actually only applied to medics, and mentions not 'cutting for the stone', I.e. not doing surgery to remove kidney stones. Medics were formally university trained, surgeons were apprenticed to barbers and would do an appendectomy between two haircuts. No shit. Thankfully, around the 18th century, this system got a little civilized. Today, the division between what is surgical and what isn't has been pretty distorted, so e.g. we do things with an endoscope that would traditionally have required open surgery. So here's the current understanding in the U.K., which is more or less aligned with the US as far as I understand (correct me):
- minor surgery: done by a non-surgeon, often a GP, involves some skin-.cutting and the odd stitch, example: removing an uncomplicated suspected melanoma
- major surgery, also referred to just as surgery: any procedure done by surgical, as opposed to medical, specialists that involves cutting and other barbarous stuff, whether it is under GA or not.
Not that anyone, btw, gives a shit about what is or isn't a surgery. It just isn't an important distinction. But, to clear it up:
- a scope is not a surgery, no, even if under GA, and no, even if we take biopsies
- a PEG or PEJ insertion is an endoscopic procedure involving gastropexy and some piercing of the skin to create the stoma (bon appetit!). It's sometimes done by GI docs, sometimes even done by nurse endoscopist specialists, who are the best thing to happen to medicine since sliced bread.
- PEG changes, whether bumper or balloon tube, are NOT surgeries.
- Line insertions are not surgeries,
- Port insertions and extractions are on the fence. I think of them as surgeries, but as said, the relevance is not that big a deal.
- Ostomies, anastomoses, Bianchi procedures etc, are all obviously surgeries.
- As a GI endoscopist, I must say Nissens are surgeries, but they really are not.

>>413264I have a very close friend who actually does have a chronic illness and the support she has found online has done wonders for her. No one really has a problem with health accounts etc in themselves, it’s just the lying attention seekers who use these communities for the wrong reasons and actually make it harder for the real sufferers to get the help they need. People inside the communities, like yourself, may struggle to identify and call out liars for many reasons. So, in short, it’s just certain ones.
